We offer:
- Donor-Advised Funds
Extremely popular, these are personal investment accounts that offer a convenient way to support charitable organizations a donor designates. Our experienced philanthropic team manages the process for you. - Designated Funds
These provide permanent financial support to specific organizations or programs donors identify. These can be named to memorialize a loved one. - Field-of-Interest Funds
These allow donors to support multiple organizations within the broader range of a cause, or even our big cause of all the causes. They allow you to make an annual grant to that cause area. Simple and impactful. - Scholarship Funds
Incredibly rewarding. Plus, donors can customize their scholarship funds according to their interests and values. - Community Unrestricted Funds
These funds give us the broadest flexibility to use donor gifts as we see fit to make the greatest possible impact in the community. The range of impact is unlimited. - Bequests
These allow donors to designate Collaboratory to receive and manage a philanthropic legacy after a donor has passed, giving donors the ability to guide their legacy while they are living. Donors can name advisors and the organizations and causes about which they are impassioned. Other options like charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities are also powerful ways to fund causes about which donors care deeply. View sample bequest language. - Collaboratory Fund
Gifts to this fund are aimed directly at our goal of coordinating the solving of all of the region’s social problems on an eighteen-year deadline. It’s an opportunity to power an initiative that is unlike any other in the world, and which holds the promise of changing the way philanthropy is administered forever.
